Abstract: The invention relates to a rapid transit draft rigging for an automatic coupler wherein a draft gear cushioning device is held within a pocket of a housing exterior to a drawbar that will release by a predetermined force to provide long free travel, permitting the coupler and draft gear arrangement to move out of the way so that they are not damaged by an accident that deforms the end of the car.
Abstract: A body bolster center filler-center plate assembly having a center plate containing a lower cap and upwardly extending sidewalls which extend into and are secured within a bottom-open pocket formed by center sill sidewalls and shear plates, the shear plates and center plate walls having a stop lug and a complementary notch, respectively, for polarizing the center plate within the pocket.

Abstract: A semi-permanent connection for freight cars having a point of connection and articulation at its center for easily separating the cars and having an alignment control arrangement at the same articulation point so as to provide limited angling as required to meet curve negotiation requirements.
Abstract: The invention relates to refractory shapes for use in the lowermost courses of the walls of ladles and the like where an adjustment for a taper may be necessary.
Abstract: Well drilling, workover and completion fluids containing various water soluble condensation products of phenolic materials, formaldehyde and sulfite salts. Such condensation products may be further modified by including during the condensation reaction one or more of urea, melamine, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, phthalic acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, maleic acid or the anhydrides of said acids. The drilling, workover or completion fluids may also contain clay-dispersants.
Abstract: A freight car truck side frame-bolster connection which provides self-squaring or self-tramming forces by resilient means incorporated in bearing shoes that cooperate with the bolster ends and the side frame window opening to produce the desired results. Also, the provision of the resilient squaring force is accomplished while maintaining the ability to shim at the bolster ends for adjustment of car height, and without the need for close tolerances.
Abstract: The disclosure illustrates a grinding wheel that is reinforced by a length of wire positioned on the side faces of the wheel in a spiral pattern beginning adjacent the inner diameter with successive turns progressively radially outward alongside the wheel. The wire is bonded to the wheel by an epoxy resin.
Abstract: A safety device for initiating an air brake application attached to or integral with the side frame of a railway car truck in proximity to the rail consisting of a hollow shoe or casting communicating with the air brake train line and adapted to make contact with the rail and fracture upon derailment venting the train line air to the atmosphere.
